• JOSEFUS having played together in the Houston, Texas-based "United Gas" in the wake of the band's collapse, bath singer Pete Bailey and guitarist Dave Mitchell decided to continue their musical collaboration. Adding drummer Doug Tull and bassist Ray Turner the a new line up, JOSEFUS attracted the attention of producer Jim Musil. Musil trucked the Texas band to Arizona where he financed a series of demos under the name Come. Unable to interest a major label in the results (Frank Zappa's Straight label was reportedly interested), the tapes were shelved; the band returned to Houston.
  
  As JOSEFUS, the quartet began playing Houston's local club scene. Unable to attract the attention of any label, they decided to record and release an album on their own Hookah label (the label symbol was a Turkish water pipe).

• Reportedly recorded in a single eight hour period, with a second day to mix, 1970's self-produced "Dead Man" proved surprisingly accomplished. With the exception of a manic cover of The Stones "Gimmie Shelter", the collection featured all original, group-penned material. Propelled by Bailey's outrageous flipped-out vocals and Mitchell's raw fuzzed-up guitar, the tracks blast their way through a mix of bluesy ("I Need a Woman") and psycho-hard rock ("Crazy Man"). Highlights included their wild cover of The Stones' "Gimmie Shelter" and the 17 minute psychedelic meltdown title track ("Dead Man"). Pete Bailey's tortured vocals owed much to the Robert Plant school, with songs built around crunching riffs. Highlights include the forever greatness of "CRAZY MAN" "Proportion"and "Situation" ...the album has no weak tracks ...considered a monster of the genre ...as a result is widely sought by collectors.
